This revised text covers the entire field of satellite geodesy. Basic chapters on reference systems, time, signal propogation and satellite orbits are updated. All currently important observation methods are included and also all newly launched satellites of interest to geodesy. Particular emphasis is given to the current status of the Global Positioning System (GPS), which covers about one third of the book. A new chapter on Differential GPS and active GPS reference networks is included. The GPS modernization plans, GLONASS, the forthcoming European system GALILEO, modern developments in GPS data analysis, error modelling, precise real time methods and ambiguity resolution are dealt with in detail. New satellite laser ranging missions, new altimetry missions (e.g. TOPEC/Poseidon, ERS-1/2, GFO, JASON), and new and forthcoming gravity field missions (CHAMP, GRACE, GOCE) are also considered. The book serves as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a reference for professionals and scientists in the field of engineering and geosciences such as geodesy, surveying, geo-information, navigation, geophysics and oceanography.

Reviews for Satellite Geodesy
Als anspruchsvolles Lehrbuch und auch als wissenschaftliches Nachschlagwerk kann es allen Lernenden und Lehrenden der Geodasie und der ubrigen Geowisschenschaftensowie allen Anwendern, die nur einen Uberblick uber die aktuellen Entwicklungen gewinnen mochten, bestens empfohlen werden. Peter Mesenburg in: Kartographische Nachrichten 1/2006 Ein exzellentes Lehrbuch fur das Fach Satellitengeodasie. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alfred Kleusberg The new edition of Gunter Seeber's book will be a welcome addition to the libraries of both students and researchers in the field of navigation, geodesy, and geomatics. It is the only monograph which so completely covers the whole field of space geodesy. Richard Langley, Canspace Das Werk ist modern aufgebaut, gut zu lesen und weist die Handschrift eines erfahrenen Hochschullehrers und Wissenschaftlers auf. Es ist der Fachwelt warmstens zu empfehlen. Lothar Stange in: Photogrammetrie Fernerkundung Geoinformation 6/2003 Dieses Buch spricht Studierende, Praktiker und Interessierte aus Nachbardisziplinen wegen seines umfassend und didaktisch bestens aufbereiteten Inhalts in gleicher Weise an und kann allen zur Anschaffung warmstens empfohlen werden. Es sollte in keiner Fachbibliothek fehlen. Bertold Witte in: Flachenmanagement und Bodenordnung 1/2004 Das Buch kombiniert in perfekter Weise Theorie und Praxis, Rechenmodell und Boden- bzw. Raumsegment. Reiner Rummel in: Mitteilungen des DVW-Bayern 4/2004 Die Neuauflage hat dem Buch, das schon immer seinen Platz auf dem Weltmarkt hatte, ganz entscheidend zur Steigerung der Bedeutung verholfen. E. Groten in: Allgemeine Vermessungsnachrichten 3/2004
